SEATTLE — A man who tried to position himself as a leader of the anti-war movement by claiming to have participated in war crimes while serving in Iraq is facing federal charges of falsifying his record.MacBeth was the darling of anti-war groups like IVAW, and made such lovely accusations as this gem:
Jesse Adam Macbeth, 23, formerly of Phoenix, garnered attention on blogs and in some alternative media after he began claiming in 2005 to have been awarded a Purple Heart for his service, which he said included slaughtering innocents in a Fallujah mosque. His story was contradicted by his discharge form, showing that he was kicked out of the Army after six weeks at Fort Benning, Ga., in 2003 because of his “entry level performance and conduct.”
“We would burn their bodies ... hang their bodies from the rafters in the mosque,”IVAW, to their credit, removed his claims when it was 'discovered' they were false. Of course, Michelle Malkin, milbloggers, and most people with a grip knew he was lying his keester off from the get-go...
So, appropriately enough, now everyone knows that MacBeths' load of rot was "a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." Macbeth (Act V, Scene V).
And more than likely, it's on to the next complete liar for the anti-war crowd.
Wonder what John Kerry's doing these days?
